Hi,
1. The discussion is about 成人式.
女： 主催者にしてみたら、せっかくの祝いの席で大声 で注意したくはないでしょうしね。
男： そうだろうね。だから、式に参加している同じ年 代の若者が注意しなきゃだめだと思うんだ。
My attempted translation:
Woman: "Besides, the organisers probably don't want to caution (people to behave sensibly) too strongly on the occasion of such a long-awaited celebration."
Man: "You're probably right. Therefore, I think a whole group of young people of the same age, who are participating at the ceremony, have to be careful."
Is this correct? I am slightly concerned that my だから = "therefore" does not seem to fully make sense in context. It seems more likely that they would have to be careful if the organisers *did* caution them strongly, not if they didn't. I feel I am misunderstanding the point, possibly the meaning and/or subject of the two 注意する.
2. Next line:
女： へえ、先輩って意外としっかりしているんですね 。お酒好きだから、騒ぐグループかなって思ってたんですけど。見直しちゃった。
My translation: "Hey, you're more sensible than I (= 先輩) thought. You all enjoy a drink, so I thought it would be a rowdy group. I've revised my opinion!"
OK?
3. Next line:
男： 何言ってるんだ。こう見えても、いざって時には ちゃんとやるんだから。
I'm afraid I have no idea what this means, except I think the last bit is about behaving properly.
4. 世間知らずのその男は、恥ずかしさで顔を赤らめた。
Translation given: "The naive man blushed with shame."
What is the grammar of の? Would 世間知らずその男 make sense?
